Old Tavistock Railway Station Cottages
Bed and Breakfast
Sherlock Holmes would have travelled by train to Tavistock before his onward journey over the moors to solve the famous ‘Hound of the Baskervilles’ mystery and may well have stopped in the Refreshment Hall for a liquid refreshment before travelling on by cart and horse to Baskerville Hall.

Baskerville Hall, seat of the Hound-haunted Baskerville family, has always been one of the prime Gothic literary settings – a dark old house in a tree-blanketed hollow under the moor with a sombre tunnel of a drive, twin towers, ivy-smothered walls and that scary Yew Alley where Sir Charles Baskerville died of sheer fright after running for his life from the Hound.
The Refreshment hall has also played a part in War Horse when Peter Mullan who played Ted Narracott stayed in the cottage whilst filming on Dartmoor with Steven Spielberg.
